Abstract
Nanostructured of In doped ZnO thin films were prepared on quartz substrates by the sol-gel method. The thin films were crystallized at 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C for 1 h in air atmosphere. The analyzed results were compared to investigate the structural characteristics and optical properties. The surface morphology of In doped ZnO films were different from that of the undoped ZnO films, and showed thin overlay structure. In addition, the crystallization of In doped ZnO film was depleted higher crystallized temperatures. From XRD analysis, all films exhibited hexagonal structures. Both of In2O3 phases and the crystallization mechanism not only improved the peeling of structure, but also improved the morphology of In doped ZnO thin films. The chemical bonding was studied by FTIR spectra. For the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, the optical property of the In doped ZnO film was raised at a higher crystallization concentration. Although the In 2O3 phases reduced the structural defects of In doped ZnO thin film, the optical effect of the residual In3+ was not enhanced completely at higher crystallized temperatures.
